Who can take part?
Adults, 21-60 years of age, who do not have a sensitivity or allergy to grain or dairy foods.
Incentive/compensation
Participants will receive up to $1000 for completing all of the study requirements.

Description
What will happen during the study?
Total study participation will last 14 weeks. You will be randomly assigned, like the flip of a coin, to one of four food intervention groups. You will be provided all of your daily food by the study for 12 weeks.
During the study, you will be asked to do the following:
- Come to the lab at the Purdue University College of Health and Human Sciences in West Lafayette, IN to pick-up your pre-packaged meals twice per week (we will try to work with your schedule to reduce the burden of this as much as possible).
- Attend a total of 6 in-person visits over the course of the study; 3 study visits (3.5 hrs each) along with 3 additional study visits (30 min. each) at the Purdue Clinical Research Center (CRC). You will schedule your study visits in advance with the research team.
- Follow the provided study diet for 12 weeks, abstaining from consuming any additional foods, especially those containing sugars.
- Before starting the diet, you must maintain a 3-day food diary during the week and be available to answer a phone call from the CRC dietitian to discuss any diet-related questions.
- Complete online questionnaires regarding appetite sensations.
- Additionally, throughout the study, you will wear CGM and FitBit devices, undergo DEXA scan body composition measurements, as well as height, weight and blood pressure measurements, and provide a total of 5 fecal samples using the provided fecal kit.
**You will need to have timely communication with the research team while participating - this is crucial, including prompt responses to emails and messages.
